Summer and Yellow for CLICK

Delicious summer is here at last, taking up all my time. Haven't been able to dedicate any time to blogging, so I am just going to post some pics for your viewing pleasure.

Plenty of time at the park...

Carnival at school...

Fun with friends at the Kiddie pool...

Enjoying swim lessons...

Getting S's room done in the hope that she will start sleeping on her own...

And now the two pics I clicked for CLICK

This is a pic of the surprise package that had arrived from Indosungod with lots of love, a huge bar of chocolate and also a packet of raagi as part of the Arusuvai Friendship chain. It has been a while since it arrived and I have been using the gorgeous yellow sambhar powder to spice a lot of dishes. The jewels that it rests on is palm sugar which sweetens my tea. Thanks Indo, the post about what I did with all those stuff is still pending but I thought this would be a fitting tribute for CLICK for Bri, if I am not past the deadline that is.

This is a delicious Kadhi I enjoyed from Hooked on Heat. As usual I deviated from her recipe and molded my Pakodi Kadhi recipe to fit hers. No onion here but the myriad spices used for tempering and the Kasoori Methi added a very distinct taste to the Kadhi.

I was not sure which pic to send for CLICK but decided on the former.

Thanks to all those who tagged me and passed on awards my way, I will try to do a post as soon as I get some time.

I bet I know what prompted your blog post - Parents Arrival :) I can sense the happiness from the post. I am glad you are enjoying the palm sugar. Have fun. Amazingly the daily rains have kept the temp. at a tolerable level don't you think?

Enjoy the Summer,S and your parents, never mind about the blogging! Hugs to you!:))

S is having a blast.Her room looks wonderful. I have put my kids to work too, stripping the wallpaper and painting 5 rooms this Summer!:DYummy Sambhar pd from Indo, planning to make that too. Kadhi is a great CLICK.Have fun there, don't worry about other things. I am off blogging too in 2 weeks until Fall, yay!:)

glad to see that S is having a fun filled summer :) . I love the decoration of S's room too . I also add fresh methi to kadhi , that is a whole different taste. i hape posted it on my blog with title methi kadhi I think . oh...and now as parents @home, can we expect you more on blog !!!

I have been reading your blog for last couple of months. I happened to find it while I googled for "Luchi- Alur Dom" one day :-). It's a really nice blog space.

I am a new mom and I saw the link for the desimom blogspot on your website. I wanted to join the desimombloggers group. I sent an email to the admin for the blogspot. But as I understand from the website, the request for invite emails are to be sent to you. Can you please add me to that space.

I am new to the world of blogging. Just started a blog on my daughter's name. You are welcome to see it.
